Yes, many animals have been observed to act weird during totality.
Anecdotes from experts like whales breaching, llamas returning to sleeping spots, orb weaver spiders dismantling their webs, etc.
Report any interesting observations using the iNaturalist app. Any data is valuable since the event is so rare.

Crotalus atrox AKA the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
Whenever I need help identifying a plant or animal I take a picture and input it into the iNaturalist app. It gets you pretty close to the proper species.

There's an app called iNaturalist that is a platform for different groups to create citizen science projects in. Check it out; there may be a project in your area for fungi.
If you want to get into it, things like this are great to put on an app called I naturalist. Helps gather data of their movement and behavior

I really love iNaturalist when I'm out and about. It isn't perfect but it is damn good, it uses GPS and your phone's camera to identify plants based on their foliage, flowers etc.
Edit: This is actually a really cool app, even just to see what kind of wildlife is being recorded and photographed. Butterflies on MLK Jr. BLVD, Mule Deer near Buckley AFB and wild mushrooms in Wash Park.

iNaturalist has an app that will let you use their "computer vision" auto-ID and post your observations for people to review / correct / narrow down IDs on.
Please note that algorithmic / "AI" identification of insects can be less reliable than it would be for many birds, and you should use any computer-suggested ID as a starting point for further research, not a definite ID. Many insect species are not photo-identifiable and it may only be possible to ID them to genus or even family from a photo.

We can only promise to try
iNaturalist, on the other hand, is a great resource for IDing anything alive. They also have Seek, but it's 100% AI, so you have to get a good picture
Check out an app called iNaturalist. You can upload your pictures and it will help you identify the species. My wife and I have been using it since quarantine started last year to id all the different birds that come to our feeders!
Hey! You can submit photos like this to iNaturalist, which helps you identify animals and plants and also helps scientists track different species! It's a great app :D
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.android
You should download the iNaturalist app for your phone. You basically just point your phone at a leaf or flower and it'll ID it in real time. It's amazing. I use it all the time.
Check our this app!
It will try to identify any animal or plant picture you submit.

What about iNaturalist
Something I’ve found useful is an app called iNaturalist which was developed as part of Microsoft’s AI For Earth initiative. It’s a crowdsourced biodiversity tool that allows people to take photos of plants and animals in their part of the world and submit them, they get identified by other users. Once confirmed they can then be used by biodiversity scientists to measure where species exist in the world. It’s really awesome, I took a bunch of photos of wildflowers while camping recently and submitted them all, most of them were identified in a day and some are now considered research grade so they can be used. It actually uses Azure Cognitive Services to help suggest potential matches for you as well.

A freaking awesome app.
iNaturalist: because I saw it and immediately thought "corn." Which is not what anyone else is saying.
Istället för att spy upp samma galla som om denna Reddit bara bestod av kossor med matsmältningsproblem så tänkte jag istället tipsa om användbara hjälpmedel för just svampidentifikation (och övriga ting man finner naturen):

and if you're interested, you can post them on iNaturalist too
There are almost 93.8 million posts on there (with 344k different species). Every animal you could think of, plants, fungus etc.
> # If you use iNaturalist it would be good to upload it and get confirmation and add a data point.
windharan is offering really excellent advice here.
iNaturalist is an extremely effective way to link regular folks in the community with scientists & experts around the world and in addition to one-off discoveries like this, the aggregate data contributed by users on iNaturalist has helped scientists to study biodiversity and how organisms are responding to things like climate change. I've even seen the data featured numerous scientific papers (see the lists of papers up to 2019 and papers from 2020 onward), and even in a /r/dataisbeautiful post about the monarch butterfly migration.
It's also an excellent way to learn about the plants, animals, fungi, and bugs in our local environment.
For anyone considering signing up, here's some answers to basic questions about iNaturalist.
> iNaturalist helps you identify the plants and animals around you. Get connected with a community of over a million scientists and naturalists who can help you learn more about nature! What’s more, by recording and sharing your observations, you’ll create research quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. > iNaturalist.org/pages/about
If you have an (1) observation of an organism (or evidence of one) in the form of a photo, still from a video, or audio recording and you know (1) when it was taken and (2) where it was taken (drop a circle on a map showing where), then you have the essentials of an observation. You don't need to know what it is, either.
Create an account (FREE) on their website or through the iNaturalist App & upload the observation. It's really easy.
iNaturalist exists to allow users to make observations of living things in nature:
> Observations are the basic units of iNaturalist. An observation records an encounter with an individual organism at a particular time and location. This includes encounters with signs of organisms like tracks, nests, or things that just died. You should make separate observations for each separate critter you encounter. iNaturalist provides a place to add this information along with associated text, photos, and tags. > inaturalist.org/pages/help
Any kind of lifeform anywhere. Your observations could be a photo of...
iNaturalist has 3 sources of identifications:
Observations meeting a few criteria can be tagged as "Research Grade", which, if shared under an approprate license (CC-BY-NC, CC-By, or CC0) are then automatically shared to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), which is
> an international network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth. > gbif.org/what-is-gbif
Data on GBIF, and sometimes directly from iNaturalist, gets used in lots of scientific papers:
The data from iNaturalist has a real impact in Canada. Here's how the CWF explains it:
> Using the iNaturalist.ca platform, we can build a living record of life in Canada that scientists and environmental managers can use to monitor changes in biodiversity, and that anyone can use to learn more about Canada’s amazing natural history.
> These discoveries are then vetted through NatureServe Canada to end up in the hands of decision makers and academics who can use this vital information to further the cause of conserving our wildlife.
> Canadian data is more easily incorporated into secure, provincial-level systems managed by Conservation Data Centers which are used when assessments are carried out to determine the at-risk status of species; determining habitat of threatened and endangered species and at times consulted to screen for vulnerable species prior to development impacts.
The data finds similar uses in other countries.
Sometimes what we see in nature could actually be an important discovery.
But even if it isn't a discovery on its own, your observation is still a data point which helps build a bigger picture of biodiversity in our world.
> The iNaturalist Network is a collection of localized websites that are fully connected to the global iNaturalist community. Network sites are supported by local institutions that promote local use and facilitate the use of data from iNaturalist to benefit local biodiversity. > inaturalist.org/sites/network
But iNaturalist exists as a huge network of affiliates. The core organization is currently a joint initiative between the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society, which essentially operate the infrastructure for the various affiliates of the global network. Here's the current list of countries that have a local affiliate:
Anyone can use iNaturalist; it doesn't need to have an affiliate in your country. Each local affiliate helps to manage features such as ensuring that the locations of local high-risk or endangered species are obscured for safety while ensuring that governing organizations still have access to the data.
For Canada (my locale), the affiliate is iNaturalist Canada (iNaturalist.ca). It's supported by the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) (a non-profit dedicated to nature) along with Parks Canada, NatureServe Canada, and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
In other countries, it may involve a government environmental department, a university, or a biodiversity repository.
Maybe use this app. Works great for me and you got all your discoveries logged. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.android

That is for sure a scary feeling to feel like those boosters are not working. Talking about stuff is big. Is there a reason you feel that you are not getting the same boost you were? maybe they have become too routine or is there thoughts beginning to intrude on that time? Dishes is actually a chore I struggle with because I have to much time with out something occupying my brain. I have been using a story podcast to fill my brain when I am unable, I listened to a lot of heavy music before this and it's very unhelpful now.
If you can get out side, do it! Fresh air is the best thing and currently it is the freshest we have experienced in our lives. I find going outside is like my BFG in the fight against depression. Nothing hits it as hard as spending even 5 minutes in nature. I like to use an app called Inaturalist while I am out. Helps me learn about nature and learn that nature is everywhere. Running around snapping pictures of plants and animals and submitting them to aid research level data is a fantastically good time. Also other users can comment and assess your entries which really helps me feel like they are still out there.
New hobbies old hobbies. It's a rough time to try and get into something new or restart something since most of use are pretty broke right now. Personally I have been growing a bunch of plants. There is daily change in them and it is something I look forward to checking on every morning! Not all of them make it, but its part of the adventure.
Another thing that has been helping me is being super active on social media but removing all the news, doomers, over-sharers, daily updaters and other social media landmines. It takes some time but I have made most of my SM's a safe space until this is over. Any important news is easy to find, I really didn't need the reminders and uninformed opinions and I am doing much better without them.
Just at the very bottom of all this my man, know that you are not alone in the way you are feeling, but that doesn't invalidate how you are feeling! I was off work in therapy for crippling anxiety in what I was told was irrational fear the world would end, then this happened. This thing has got us all TILTED AF, but we are going to be OK.
iNaturalist is good.

A bit different from maybe what you are asking about but here are some really great apps if you enjoy, hiking and nature whether it be for fun, excercise, or learning. I have tried out many apps and these are the best ones I have come up with. None have IAP or ads.
iNaturalist - Find and identify plants and animals in your area. Keep track of your finds and see finds made by others.
Flora Incognita - excellent backup app for identifying plant. Like the app above you use your phone's camera to I'd plants and this one allows for multiple photos for better accuracy. Also provides potential eddible, medicinal, and toxicity information.
BirdNET - Identify birds by recording their vocalizations with your phone.
Merlin Bird ID - Identify birds by taking a photo or answering 5 questions.
eBird - Track and keep checklists of you bird sightings.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hikingproject.android - Find and navigate great hiking spots in your area.
CalTopo - excellent mapping app with many easy to use but advanced features.
c:geo - open source geocaching app.
Mushroom identification from photos - not as great or accurate as the other apps listed but still helpful. iNaturalis is also helpful in identifing fungus.
It’s definitely a species of harvestman (or "daddy long-leg"), which are arachnids in the Order Opiliones. These are a pretty tricky group to identify, but here are some (but not all) species known to be found in Spain.
I would highly recommend sharing this photo on iNaturalist for a better diagnosis. It’s main hub is this website, but it’s also available for iOS devices on the App Store and for Android devices on Google Play.
Hey /r/natureisfuckinglit! ����
August 21st is the day of the Great American Eclipse.
A total eclipse that passes from coast to coast of the US, and only the US. This is the first time a total eclipse has touched the mainland US since 1979, 38 years ago.
If you are in a state that lies on the path of totality (the only place you can see the total eclipse) make sure you have proper eclipse glasses and a spot that will have clear weather.
>You can find out when the eclipse occurs near you here:
>https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2017-august-21
If you are anywhere else in the US, you will still be able to see a partial eclipse. It's nowhere near as amazing as the total eclipse, but may still cause animals near you to act strange.
Scientists have an understandably difficult time collecting data about how animals react to eclipses, as they are so rare and even more rare to coincide with the habitat of a certain animal.
We are part of the Reddit video beta now, so you can upload your original videos and photos from the eclipse directly to Reddit or any other video/image/gif host you like.
Each post will be required to use the �� emoji, of course. All unrelated posts will be removed on the day of the eclipse.
This gif was made from Google's initiative video, <strong>Eclipse Megamovie 2017</strong>.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5xOcjC5-oo
Their initiative asks anyone in the path of totality to submit a photo of the eclipse at totality for scientists to study the sun's atmosphere.
For videos and photos of animals during the eclipse, submit those using the iNaturalist app.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inaturalist/id421397028
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.android
On the day of the eclipse, the app will feature a special drawdown menu that allows you to record observations leading up to, during, and after the astronomical event. Simply keep an eye out for any interesting or unusual behavior and snap a few pics while you enjoy the show.
If you’re looking for places to find animals during the eclipse, here’s a list of more than a dozen wildlife refuges within the path of totality.
Extra attention should be paid to how birds will react, as they have exhibited some very interesting behavior in the past.
Ants have been shown to go back in their mounds, orb weaver spiders begin to dismantle their webs, llamas will return to their resting spots, birds will go silent, and grasshoppers will start making noise!
Make your contribution to science for the first US eclipse since the creation of Reddit.
Thanks everyone, stay ��
